Help with small living room redesign
Hi Folks,
Just bought a house (yay!), and I need help redesigning the living
room. It will be a blank slate--all furniture will be gone (everything in the photo belongs to the seller). We'll be installing new carpet and skim-coating/repainting the walls (goodbye, texture!). There will be no TV. This will be a lounging/social/reading room.
I'm going for a fairly
contemporary/transitional look. I'm thinking light gray walls, white trim, contemporary sofa with a beautiful warm wood coffee or side table with a few brightly colored cushions.
Aside from that, I'm stumped, particularly regarding layout. Issue 1: There is a gorgeous view out the big
picture window, and I don't want to just plop down a sofa facing away from it. How would you lay out furniture? We'll be replacing the window, and we're getting estimates for turning it into a box bay window, maybe large enough for a window seat. Not sure if that will be possible.
Issue 2: Husband wants to do
built-in shelving that can house books, his record collection, and a record player, but I'm having a tough time visualizing where all of that could go.
View standing inside front door:
View standing near passage into kitchen:
Opposite the fireplace and on the other side of the passage into the kitchen/dining (we'll obviously be adding a closet door):
Measurements/diagram to come....

il y a 8 ansI assume that you are keeping the fireplace. You can do something like this, and he can put his stuff on it.

il y a 8 ansI did estimate, can adjust when you get dimensions. Tell me what you think. I would do the built in shelves on right of FP. The space on left is really too small. Put a potted tree there

il y a 8 ansI would recommend taking the tv down from the fireplace. It's too high and you can't hide the cords. I don't normally recommend putting the tv in front of a window, but I think it may be an option for you.

il y a 8 ansFloating shelves on right and a cabinet to the left of the fireplace. Dimensions would help.
